FOX 4G DA8

The connected receiver(s) convert the proprietary signal(s)

back to video (RGB, DVI, or SDI/HD-SDI, depending on the

source transmitter and the receiver), audio, and serial RS-232

communication, and output the signals locally. For video

resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, the receivers' video outputs are a

perfect, pixel-for-pixel or digital recreation of the video signal

input to the FOX DA via a transmitter.

Features

Ultra high performance

— Outputs up to eight perfect,

pixel-by-pixel RGBHV or digital video transmissions to

compatible receiver(s). The FOX DA can handle analog

video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz. Higher

resolutions can be transmitted, but with some loss of

video quality.

Optical input and outputs —

The FOX DA inputs and outputs

the optical signal on LC video connectors.

Active and individually isolated outputs —

The FOX 4G DA8

uses active signal splitting to maintain equal transmitter

power to all outputs, maximizing distance capabilities by

ensuring full availability of optical loss budget for each

output.

System video output

— When the optical input is from a

FOX 500 or FOXBOX 4G Tx (rather than a FOX HD-SDI),

the video portion of the optical video output can be

decoded to either RGB video or DVI video, depending on

the receiver connected.

Rack mounting

— The unit is rack mountable in any

conventional 19" wide rack, using Extron's full size rack

shelf.

Power

— The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, internal power supply

provides worldwide power compatibility.
